I've done this before, but today my mind is a complete blank. Must be another of those annoying senior moments

What I want to do is simple -- it has to be or I would never have managed to do it before.

Incidentally, I'm talking about the mathematical Boolean relationships, NOT the Boolean relationships used in OpusScript.


I have 2 variables, let's call them variable1 and variable2.

Basically, I want to monitor these variables:

If variable1 = 1
OR
If variable2 = 2

a certain action occurs.

There is no ELSE component to this.

When I set up the IF statements,

IF variable1 = 1
IF variable2 = 2

they act in a Boolean AND relationship, whereas what I want is a Boolean OR relationship.

Can someone please kick-start my brain into action?

Hi Ray,
if I understand you correctly.

In script it's something like::

if ((variable1==1) || (variable2==2))
{
do something here
}

cheers

That's it! Thanks Paul.

It was simple. I had used "|" instead of "||"

Like they say, simple things trip simple minds.

Don't be fooled folks!

Sentosa's brilliant mind is far from simple and ancient as he frequently portrays!!

It is exceedingly intelligent, ingeniously complex, rich and eloquent.

Cheers

Careful. You'll have me blushing

Ray --

Have you thought about using "SELECT & CASE" instead of "IF"? In the future, if you add additional options, it would be much easier if you were using SELECT & CASE. You just create a Variable, put it into a SELECT Action, then add as many CASE Actions as you need, each one is then directed to do something different. The Default Action covers anything NOT covered by a CASE Action.

No Fred, I haven't. That's an excellent idea! I tend to forget (or perhaps just by-pass) SELECT & CASE. I actually skimmed over it today when wracking my brains.

I'll go back and see if I can make use of it.

BTW -- after Graham's embarrassing comments, I mocked up one pub page with complicated logic and sent it off so that he can see how good I am at digging deep, steep-sided holes for myself.

Thanks again. I'll see how I go.
